OLD SCHOOL FUND

Promoting education of persons under the age of 25 years living in Bury St. Edmunds by the provision of financial assistance to voluntary schools in Bury St. Edmunds and to students in the town
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
